Taylor Swift was back on stage Thursday for the first time since her Vienna Eras Tour shows were canceled amid a suspected terrorist plot. And as she had done in her earlier London shows, Swift had some major surprises in store for Wembley Stadium.
Fans also took notice to quite a theme during the surprise song set.
The 14-time Grammy winner was joined on stage by Ed Sheeran as they performed “Everything Has Changed” in a mashup with “End Game” and Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.” Given how “Everything Has Changed” had a prominent spot in Amsterdam’s Travis Kelce mashup, the repeat performance seemed to be Kelce-inspired once again.

Swift took that speculation to another level when she performed “King of My Heart” and “The Alchemy” as a mashup on piano. The Alchemy, of course, was suspected to be a song about Kelce from Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department. So, as expected, Swifties drew the connection for the entire performance.
“King of My Heart x The Alchemy” is the 2nd surprise songs mashup on the piano! She’s in TRUE LOVE 😍 #LondonTSTheErasTour #TSTheErasTour #TSTheErasTourLondon pic.twitter.com/cJxteVSoBZ
